Hi,

I have an unusual problem. My office has a paper form on which certain fields must be filled. This form only exists in paper format; there is no electronic version. It was recommended to me that the best way to fill out this form is to create an Excel spreadsheet that contains the answers. I should then place the paper form in the printer and print the excel sheet onto the form. Can anyone suggest a better answer?
 
Hi,

How long does it take to dig a hole?

Obviously, you'd need a lot more information before an answer could be ventured.

That's a bit hard to believe in this day & age. Even so, a good scanner & OCR program should be able to recreate the content, which you'd then save as a PDF or Word document and add the relevant fields (or content controls - Word).

If your company has Adobe Acrobat Pro, you can scan this image and import it there.

Then you can make it a fillable form, by going to Forms...->Start form Wizard...
